Fabric from Provence!

Look what I won!  I am so excited!  You all know how much I adore all things French.  Well, today I discovered that I won this beautiful fabric straight from Provence, compliments of Morgane over at Bear, Dolly and Moi!

What a wonderful surprise!  Now I can't say that I never win anything!  I think I will make some pretty napkins with some of the fabric, and maybe some little sachets stuffed with the lavender I brought back with us when we were in Paris in May.  I was checking out some of the lovely things that Morgane did with the fabric.  She made some beautiful pillows you can check out here, as well as a gorgeous placemat you can read about here.  Thanks so much, Morgane!  I can hardly wait!


A few minutes ago, I was standing at the kitchen window, and saw the sweetest thing in our backyard!  A "junior" cardinal (that's what I call birds that are neither babies or adults :) !) was being fed by its mother!  And papa cardinal had to sweep in for a visit!

I ran and got our camera (our new camera, that I still need to figure out!), and managed to snap this shot!  That's "junior" on the left.  Mama would pick seeds up in her beak, which had fallen to the ground from the bird feeder hanging right above them.  "Junior" would squeak and chirp til Mama would deposit the seeds in his mouth!  So adorable!  Looks like papa thought he had to supervise!

I got one last shot as mama flew off.  Guess she decided she was tired of feeding her little one!


Hope you all are having a great day!
